Hard to say exactly. Seems these trucks react to levels differently from one to one. What I'm saying is, look at the different rakes we have, I've heard everywhere from 2", up to mine that had 3", and some of the RCSB's have had 3.5".
I don't think your truck will look silly, but best way is to measure where you are now, install the level, put a few miles on it to settle, and then check again.

Thank you sir, that's basically my plan, level in the up coming weeks then tires and hopefully not spacers, if it's only like a 1/4" I'm not worried but if its drastic that's a nother story lol, stock I have about 3 inches rake. I hate the nose dive look lol just trying work with the budget the wife allows lol

no worries, and no intent to insult. was already doing searching and reading to determine what rim and tire combo i will go for so links were already open... well way too many already open! .
Haha I have two chrome windows open right now with about 35 tabs each!
I installed a Fox 2.0 kit on my 2019 F150 supercrew and it still has at least 1/2" rake to it. Measuring from the ground to fender is 39.5 in front and 40 in rear. Can I install a set of Motofab 1/2" spacers on top of the Fox 2.0 strut assembly?

1/2 rake is not bad, personally I would leave it. As far as your question, you could space it or look at rear blocks, they can be found in 1/4 inch increments.

Do they make one? A lot would depend on how long your upper mount bolts are. LOL, just fill up your gas tank, you'll lose most of that 1/2" rake. I think most of us would be fat, dumb, and happy with just that much rake. Well, I'd be at least fat and dumb.

Yeah it looks like enough length to the studs to accommodate the spacers. The 1/2" spacers are around 1/4" thick.

1/2 inch rake is hardly noticable
It measures at a 1/2" difference, but visually it looks like more.

Just looked at MotoFabs site, didn't know anyone had that thin of a spacer, nice. I see no reason why you couldn't do it.
Watched their video too. One of the few that doesn't have you loosening up the control arms, KUDOS to them. Only showed taking the halfshaft out, and reinstalling. Only thing there is making sure teeth mesh BEFORE torquing to 30ftlbs. I could actually see some redneck wannabe mechanic stacking washers instead of using a spacer, I'd bet someone has done that!

I got you now, I did mine with FOX 2.5, assumed i would adjust them if I still had too much rake but "visually" it is so hard to notice any that I have not yet bothered measuring as I am happy where it is. For me anyway, doing it in my driveway with no lift if I did not have adjustable struts, i would be swapping rear blocks as that is an easier chore that disassembling the front again. but then again, higher is always nicer right? if that's case then front spacers here we come!
On another note, even though instructions said I needed to loosen lower control arms I did not had had no issue, just had to smack the bolts out of original struts 1st.
